RE: How can I keep my backups for x days? - MasterTH - 07-29-2009 10:25 PM
is it possible to add a feature in this addon which adds a folder or filelist what has to be included in the Backup?
RE: How can I keep my backups for x days? - Kami - 08-01-2009 04:13 AM
Here is a working and improved version (tested on Debian Lenny).
[attachment=837]
Obviously previous version threw an error and didn't delete the file on some systems, because file name is the 8th and not 9th parameter in the ls -lrt output.
I've also added an --color=never switch, because colors could cause problems with the file names on some systems.
Oh, and if you don't want your crontab log file to be filled with the script output, use this cron entry:
Quote:0 4 * * * root /var/www/ispcp/engine/backup/sitebackups.php > /dev/null

Here is another version which deletes old backups based on the date in the file name instead of using the file creation date (if something goes wrong and ISPCP doesn't creates new backups old backups will still be deleted).

you could code an counter which counts the files in the backup-folder with tar.gz in the end. If the amount of files is bigger then the number of backups given from the user ispcp can delete the oldest files.

I was in vacation, now I am back, thanks for all answers and responses about my topic. I made some change with the script, thanks to Kami!
First post updated with new version!

it would be nice to have:
different values for site and database backups.
set the value(s) if you create a new user.
in ispCP 1.0.1 we have the choice to switch off backups.
it would be nice, if you could build your add-on new with the latest nightly version because
the backup on/off is functionally since r1707 -> http://www.isp-control.net/ispcp/changeset/1707
and there are some changes in ispcp-backup-all, domain_edit.php and domain_edit.tpl
greets
FISA4
Now, at reseller level, you can set different values for site and database backups too.
"set the value(s) if you create a new user" will be implemented soon.

If miklosandras can create a Patch for the current trunk, we can add this also in the SVN or ? Anyone against it ?

Sorry, I can not create Patch for the current trunk, anyone could help me?

i can help with the patch ...
For me just one important feature is missing :
User should be able to select which backup to use to restore their data.
(and of course in combination with the splitting of sql / file data)

Yes, that would work as well, but that solution would require 1 extra step.
First I would need to count all the files matching the pattern and then I would still need to delete the files based on the date in the file name (assuming that the ISPCP backups are "compromised" and that the file creation date is incorrect).
@miklosandras: Great

Thanks for your help.
I know the solution for restore what was in
/var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dmn-mngr
but, I am not good at perl...

There is a one small bug in your script (same as in my first version).
Code:
exec("ls -lrt --color=never /var/www/virtual/".$domain_name."/archive_backups/ | grep '$delete_day1' | awk '{print $8}' | xargs rm -f");If you don't change the working directory to /var/www/virtual/".$domain_name."/archive_backups/ you need to supply the full path to the rm command, else script will try to delete these files in the current working directory instead of /var/www/virtual/".$domain_name."/archive_backups/.

Thanks, script updated, and tested, works fine
